"That sound!!!!... makes me wanna steal a car." -anonymous Boss Tweed fan
"The band's original "Buzz Like Houseflies" is a romp, pure and simple. This is rollicking rockabilly with plenty of reverb and twang. And yet Sills' soulful vocals injects a twist that makes it all new. The
flipside is a cover of "Perhaps..." The ballad becomes a seance set to
melody, conjuring up a misty past of dim juke joints and neon-lit
roadhouses from the end of time. The effect is mesmerizing."
- Michael Dregni, Vintage Guitar Magazine 2008
"I dig that Willie Nelson tune! (I Never Cared for You) Rick Estrin of Rick Estrin and the Nightcats (formerly Little Charlie and the Nightcats)
"Slickers out of Brooklyn, Boss Tweed makes thinking person's rockabilly-blues, and it's all very smart that they publish old-school on vinyl. But I still say music is more a visceral thing -- songs that make you drive too fast, thinking and feeling things you probably shouldn't, and that's why 'Buzz Like Houseflies' makes my top-ten." Vern Smith, Motown Hoedown CJAM 91.5 FM (Windsor, Canada / Detroit, MI)
"To say that Sills' singing is sultry is an immense understatement. Her vocals resonate with a throaty anguish, torch songs sung straight from the heart. Egan's licks are cool and classic it's rockabilly recast for a new era." Vintage Guitar Magazine 2006
'Swing meets cool jazz & blues with a touch of country twang - that's what you get from NYC trio Boss Tweed. They supersede generic stereotypes, and Carolyns voice soothes your tired soul, leaving you aching for more on this self-titled release.' Michelle Terranova, DJ Go Kat Go Radio! WNHU 88.7FM
